October 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Enigma Variations has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://enigmathemeunmasked.blogspot.com/ (matching the regex rule \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:36, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Enigma Variations do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT0Sd8ESXpk (matching the regex rule \byoutube\.com). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Enigma Variations. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Atif.t2 (talk) 22:49, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Enigma Variations. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it.

Please stop adding original research and copyright violations[edit]

Sir Padgett, please have a look at our original research policy; even if you have solved the "enigma", you first need to publish your ideas in a reliable source, and have someone else add them to Wikipedia to avoid a conflict of interest. Additionally, adding straight-up from your website is a copyright violation. Wikipedia is a tertiary source; we do not publish original ideas here. Thank you, Antandrus (talk) 01:30, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Antandrus' comment, except that if your study and conclusions were to be published in a peer-reviewed, reliable musicological source I would have no personal objection to your adding the information to the article with a reference. --RobertG ♬ talk 17:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop[edit]

Hi again Sir Padgett -- you've been quite persistently adding original research and copyright violations in violation of our policies, in spite of numerous editors reverting your additions, and asking you not to do this. Please see the talk page for the article to discuss the issue. I really do not want to block you -- that's a desperate last resort if you do not read these warnings -- and beware that you've violated the three revert rule, so I'm just letting you know for now. Please also have a look at this section of What Wikipedia is Not, which explains our policy clearly. Hope this helps, Antandrus (talk) 00:48, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Block[edit]

Hello again. I have blocked you for one hour to make certain you read the messages on this page, follow the links provided, and to make sure you understand Wikipedia policy regarding original research and copying from elsewhere on the web, which is not permitted. Thank you for your understanding, Antandrus (talk) 14:08, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please respond to our messages[edit]

I'm sure you're sick of these by now, but would you please acknowledge that you are receiving these messages? Your edits violate two of our core policies (WP:OR and WP:COPYVIO) and they're not going to remain -- if I don't remove them, someone else will -- will you please at least acknowledge that you've read our messages, and explain why you are insisting on copying and pasting from your blog anyway? We appreciate your contributions, and several of us, including me, find your results fascinating and even convincing, but none of that can trump Wikipedia policy, which is determined by the community. Thank you, Antandrus (talk) 00:56, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your edits on the grounds that the new content constitutes "original research". Please see the Wikipedia guidelines regarding this in WP:OR. Also, you have apparently ignored all attempts by other editors to contact you or to discuss this matter on the article's talk page. Continued editing in this manner is considered disruptive, and may lead to loss of editing privileges. -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 02:41, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
